inflicted on an editorial board, in some measure prepared for the shock, than that they be unloaded, without warning or cause, upon an unsuspecting public. The book will prove beneficial to the University as an ad.,', to the students as a well-bound, stereotyped memory. However useful it may be, our publishers and engravers were not philanthropic. Financially, the BIJOU would have been impossible if the college organizations had not shared the burden of its cost. To all these organizations, except the Athenian Literary Society, we hereby tender our sincere thanks. We are very grateful, also, to those outside tl1e corps who so kindly and willingly sacrificed their time to produce drawings and compose pleasing portrayals of various phases of our University life. We also take very great pleasure in ack11ow1edging our sincere indebtedness to the Faculty Committee, who so kindly consented to rehearse our copy and strike out the jokes which the professors would not appreciate. Assuring you that we appreciate your excellent judgment in your choice of present reading matter, and that we will remember you i11 our Memorial Day exercises, we remain, kind reader, Yours, without a qualm, a tremor, or a cent, THE EDITORS. ,7 if ff W 1' Mt., -f ii ,. .- Wg Q- 5 is Xe x f' -'ld' 'M I 'e 8

Ebitorial. Z '.,'4 -'jrijlpgj-fig. EAR READER : YVe take our pen in hand to let you know we feel relieved, and hope you are the same. The Bijou is ended, and we are pretty nearly so, as it were. After eating ,'Vy phosphorus and pickles and milk Qthey always make us feel funnyj, after wearing our hair long, and reading P1lCA',f1l!lig'f, and Bill Nye, and paying our own club board for the past four months, we have gaily clipped our fountain pen into the inkstand, run our long, shapely fingers through the raven locks that crown our noble brow, a11d, with tears in our eyes, have tried our utmost to compose something funny, but all we could think of were the ghosts we had seen'l and our grandmotherls grave. Really, at times we were in despair clear up to our generous ears. If, in these straits, we have struck at the foibles and eccentricities of professors and students, we crave forgiveness, and humbly acknowledge that we did it on purpose. Of course, we expect to be called vampires and sugar-trustees, and all sorts of undesirable now de jnlgnfzes, and we d0n't doubt but that some gently chided creatures will want their moneys back, with interest and alimony. We have prepared for the worst. Raving friend, even now, as you are searching for your horse-pistol and softly swearing vengeance 011 the BUOU corps and all its family, we are on our Summer vacation tour, enjoying the balmy, 1000 in shade breezes, recruiting our worn cerebral apparatus and reflecting on the brevity of human life. VVe da1'e you to come halfway. If you ever do get halfway, it will be because you can ru11 faster than we can. Wliile thus incidentally thrusting at personal weakness, we have aimed in the main to make the annual a real and complete picture of our college life during the past year. You will find hints and pleasantries and names scattered through these pages that will recall pleasant memories to you twenty years hence. Though most of the volmne is printed in prose, latent poetic genius l1as been disastrously developed. We are sorry. If it must be, however, ,tis better that these pathetic stanzas should be ' 7
